// The PC is not A Typewriter //
pp. 25-40
These pages address typography/ kerning. In my graphic design classes I have gained even more of an admiration of typography. I enjoy playing with spacing/kerning . Bad typography is obvious to me. It's important to understand how to successfully use text visually. I feel like one can learn the basic rules of hyphenation, line breaks, widows, orphans, tabs, capitalization, underlining, indentation, etc here, but it also helps to have 'an eye for it.'
Changing the width of a font or the size can help create emphasis for the word/ whatever the designer is trying to convey.
I like discovering fonts not typically used and also making my own fonts- I'm still learning how to upload them to incorporate to my macbook font files so I can actually type with my handwritten own letters. Typewriters are helpful in showing how things are done originally. I have my grandfathers old typewriter; I like writing things with it.
